[Bell Historians] surprising Campanophile listing

[davidhird_uk]

As I have rung there, can I point out an inaccuracy in that they are 
not hung veronese style. They are a McShane swing chime that have 
been adapted, so you can just about ring them, by putting garter 
holes in the wheels and installing small ground pulleys on the floor.

The bells hang in 6 independant frames just bolted to the floor 
which move alarmingly. They go like house ends and are 
excruciatingly loud partly due to the football sized brass clappers 
with no flights. They strike wrong.
